There are still ten days to go before the night of the fifteenth full moon, and Ye Xiao has already learned from Wu Sangui that if he rushes to the capital from here, he will be able to barely arrive within ten days, so along the way, in addition to letting the horses rest, Ye Xiao is almost always on horseback, but fortunately, his physical fitness is completely different now, and such an intensity of rushing is not a problem. On the way, he also thought about what he had to do on this trip, one was to find Qu Feiyan, the second was to help Mu Tianbo rescue Mu Jianping, and the third was to find Chen Yuanyuan's daughter.

The horse given by Wu Sangui was indeed a rare good horse, which should have been barely completed in ten days, but at noon on the tenth day, Ye Xiao rushed to the capital.

After entering the capital, even though Ye Xiao had been in this world for such a long time, he still couldn't help but sigh at the grandeur and prosperity of the capital. I found a passer-by and inquired about Qian Xinglong Meat Village, this Qian Xinglong Meat Village is specially for the palace to pay tribute to high-quality pork, so it is also quite famous in the capital, Ye Xiao easily heard from the passers-by, and then he went to Beicheng to find Qian Xinglong Meat Village.

The reason why I want to find Qian Xinglong Meat Village is because in the original work of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", it is said that after Mu Jianping was arrested in the capital, he was put into Poria cocos, ginseng, red dates, and pigs by Qian Xinglong Meat Village, and sent to the palace. Of course, he wasn't sure, after all, what he had experienced before was too different from the original book. According to the original book, the reason why the Heaven and Earth Society arrested Mu Jianping was because it was suspected that the people of the Heaven and Earth Society were arrested by the people of Mu Wangfu, and Mu Jianping was also arrested in the capital, not from Yunnan as he is now. But it was a clue, and that's why he decided to try his luck.

Not long after coming to Beicheng, Ye Xiao saw Qian Xinglong Meat Village. Although this Qian Xinglong Butcher is a pork shop, it is also quite a large scale because it is a shop that provides high-quality pork for the imperial palace. And in addition to paying tribute to the palace with high-quality pork, this Qian Xinglong Butcher Village is also a restaurant.

Before coming to Qian Xinglong Meat Village, it was already full of guests at this time, and it was really prosperous. When a pick-up junior saw Ye Xiao, he immediately came up courteously and asked, "Is this son going to eat?"

Ye Xiao nodded, and the little two said: "That son has found the right place, our restaurant is famous in the capital, and you are satisfied with it." ”

"Well, you can see that there are so many guests here, but I don't know if there is a seat?" Ye Xiao asked.

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, please inside the child." ”

"Okay, then you can help me take care of this horse. Ye Xiao said, handing the reins to Xiao Er.

After entering the restaurant, another junior led him up to the second floor, and then Ye Xiao ordered a few side dishes, he planned to eat something first, and then find an opportunity to ask the boss here, Qian Laoben.

Soon Xiao Er served the wine and food, and Ye Xiao began to eat while looking at the surrounding situation. Originally, he was just looking at it casually, but when he looked at it this way, he really saw an unusual person.

The man sat alone in a corner five or six meters away from him, this person was dressed in white, and he looked very handsome, but his face was very haggard, and even when he was drinking, he occasionally coughed slightly, as if he was a seriously ill person. Originally, such a sick person should not have attracted Ye Xiao's attention, but it was this sick appearance that made him pay special attention. If an ordinary person is sick like this, where would he run out to drink alone, not to mention that although he coughs from time to time, his breath is already very stable. In this situation, it is possible to maintain a stable breath, even if the internal strength of the body is not unfathomable, it is absolutely impossible to maintain it.

seemed to notice that Ye Xiao was looking at him, and the man also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued to drink by himself.

Walking the rivers and lakes for such a long time, Ye Xiao also knew that there were many strange people in the rivers and lakes, so after taking two more looks, he no longer continued to pay attention. Instead, I thought about another thing, today is the fifteenth, which means that tonight Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow will duel at the top of the Forbidden City, why is the capital still peaceful, there is no trace of tension at all. He didn't know that the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow was not known by ordinary people except for the top masters, so it seemed so peaceful.

After eating, Ye Xiao called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and at the same time asked casually, "Little Second Brother, what about your boss?" I think your wine and food here are quite good, I really want to meet your boss and ask how to make such good dishes." ”

The little second said: "Our boss brought high-quality pork to the palace early this morning to pay tribute, if you want to know my boss, I'm afraid it will be a little later." ”

When Ye Xiao heard this, he secretly said that this old man Qian went to pay tribute today is Poria ginseng and red date pig, so he asked again: "Little second brother, is your boss paying tribute today is Poria ginseng and red date pig?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Huh, how did you know, Childe?"

Ye Xiao, who got the answer, knew that even though this world was very different from the original book, this episode was basically similar, and he didn't answer Xiao Er's question, so he got up and went downstairs.

When Ye Xiao went downstairs, the man in white in the corner seemed to glance at him again inadvertently.

After leaving Qian Xinglong Meat Village, Ye Xiao pondered how to enter the palace hall, and even went to the edge of the Forbidden City to check it out, and found that the guards here were quite strict, several times stricter than Wu Sangui's palace, almost all of them were patrolled by guards, and there were even army handles. He didn't know that although the Forbidden City was also heavily guarded on weekdays, it was not as good as it was today, and the reason why it was so was because of the competition between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow tonight.

"It seems that it is impossible to sneak in during the day, so let's take a look at it at night. Seeing that the Forbidden City was so heavily guarded, Ye Xiao could only leave temporarily.

found an inn to settle the horses, and Ye Xiao himself rested in the guest room, waiting for the night to come.

As night fell, Ye Xiao secretly left the inn. There is a curfew at night in the capital, so compared to the bustle and noise during the day, the night in the capital is extremely quiet, with only a few dogs barking occasionally or whispering between husband and wife in some houses. Of course, the whole capital is not dark, large families have lanterns lit, and there are soldiers patrolling the streets with lanterns. There were many more soldiers patrolling tonight than usual, and almost every street had soldier handles, which made Ye Xiao wonder.

At this time, the full moon had just risen, and it was actually possible to see it clearly even if you didn't need a lantern under the bright night light. Ye Xiao knew that if he alarmed these soldiers who patrolled the handles, he was afraid that it would be a troublesome matter. So he didn't plan to walk from the roof, but landed directly on the street, and then used all his strength to run towards the Forbidden City.

Ling Bo micro-steps under his full strength, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch his figure, and those soldiers who patrol the handles are only stronger than ordinary people, and they don't even know martial arts, so they can't find Ye Xiao at all, even if Ye Xiao passes by them, they only feel that the wind suddenly blows.

After a cup of tea, Ye Xiao came to the edge of the Forbidden City, and the guards of the Forbidden City at this time were actually tighter than during the day, which caught Ye Xiao off guard.

"Rub, is it because Ye Gucheng and Ximen are blowing snow tonight, so they are so tightly guarded?" Ye Xiao finally thought of this at this time, "By the way, why haven't I met anyone else, since Li Qiushui has come to see this competition, there will inevitably be other top masters in the rivers and lakes." ”

The two main protagonists, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow, never appeared, and other martial arts masters naturally did not appear so early.

"Forget it, let's not think about this for now, and find a chance to sneak in. Thinking so, Ye Xiao looked around, but in the end, he found that no matter where he entered, he would definitely be discovered.

After wandering around for a while, Ye Xiao suddenly came to mind, and he picked up a few stones from the nearby ground and held them in his hand. Then he chose a relatively weakly defended city wall, and then quietly pulled out the sword given by Wu Sangui, and then jumped up, and when he was halfway up, he inserted the sword into the city wall, and then jumped up again with his strength, and at the same time brought the sword out. And just as he was about to rise to the top of the city, several stones in his left hand shot at the head of the city on the left.

As the stones fell to the ground, there was a loud shout from the soldiers: "What is it?" At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city on Ye Xiao's side also turned their heads to look.

And it was at this moment that Ye Xiao had already risen to the top of the city, and then stepped on the top of the city, and the whole person flew directly over the head of the city and fell into the city. This series of actions is completely happened in a split second, and any link during the period must be grasped very precisely, otherwise it will inevitably be discovered by the soldier who handles it.

With Ye Xiao falling in the Forbidden City, this time the strategy was obviously successful.
